Preface
The Faculty of Science is the main contributor of scientific research at the King
Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Publishing a large number of research
articles and theses annually, by its faculty and students, has positioned the college in
the lead.
Through this catalogue, the College is pleased to present abstracts of a selection of
scien(cid:7)fic ar(cid:7)cles published by its faculty members during the year 2009. All included
articles have been published in highly reputable international journals.
This issue is the third of an annual series the College has produced in an effort to
avail part of its research body to scientists and to guide them to any articles of
interest.
I would like to thank my colleagues at the Faculty of Science for their outstanding
world-class contribution to scientific research. I also would like to take the
opportunity to thank all those who have participated in producing this valuable
document.
Wishing that you find this issue of great use,
Sincerely,
Professor Abdullah Y. Obaid
Dean of Faculty of Science.
